Splenda is a brand name artificial sweetener. It is used as a sugar substitute by people looking for low-calorie alternatives to their daily sweet treats.
Sweeteners like Splenda mimic the sweetness of sugar, without the calories.

While they are known for their original formulation containing sucralose, they also manufacture items using natural sweeteners such as stevia and monk fruit.
